Tuesday there is no school!

Wednesday night: Students should prepare for a quick quiz on sections 1 and 2 for Thursday.

Friday: Students will be given a task to invent something that will improve life on the manor!

The Manorial Improvement Invention is always one of my highlights of the entire year. Students come up with some fabulous ideas! Stay tuned!

Period 3:

Monday: read through page 373, and complete questions on page 373.

Tuesday: No school!
